HST Cluster group,
We've posted (and copied below) a preliminary agenda for next
Tuesday's cluster meeting at LBL on the TWiki page. With much helpful
input from Peter (thanks!), Kyle, et al, we've listed topics for
discussion. Please let us know if there are other topics to address.
I've put a few names as possible speakers for reports. If listed,
please confirm, or if you want to be added, please let me know.

(Log on as user: TWikiGuest with pwd hstclustersn (case sensitive)
Then register under your own name.)
ATTENDANCE:
Please check the Attendence List link on the TWiki page and see that
I've listed you correctly as either attending or participating via
teleconference. Those in the "To Confirm" list - please let me know
if you'll be coming. If you're taking the LBL Shuttle, you need us to
send you a bus pass - let Marilyn know and for which days. If you're
driving, we need to get you on the site-access list and reserve you a
parking permit.
TELECONFERENCE: Those teleconferencing in, please let know if you want
join by video (or just audio). Assuming more than one video connection,
we'll use an ESnet bridge, so we'll need you to register yourself as a
user and your equipment (if you haven't already done so):
http://www.ecs.es.net/ecs_reg/index.html
Please do this ASAP as it may take a day to get your e-mail approval.
With an ESnet bridge, people can also connect from their desktop or
dial-in from a telephone for an audio only connection. We'll do a test
connection on Monday for video connections and give you the meeting
details. (We're checking into a webcast archive - I'm told it's
possible.) As a backup, we'll have audio conference line you can call
at any time: 510-643-3819.
SLIDES: Any one showing slides should post them on the agenda page of
the TWiki just click on "Attach" or send them to me. This is so
people on teleconference can follow.
